What I Love About Sam: Sam is a wonderful dog and great company. He’s always looking for his “Pappa.” He reminds us of what John Burroughs wrote about his dogs over a century ago:
One’s pleasure with a dog is unmixed. There are no setbacks. They make no demands upon you as does a child; no care, no interruption, no intrusion. If you are busy, or want to sleep, or read, or be with your friend, they are as if they were not. When you want them, there they are at your elbow and ready for any enterprise. And the measure of your love they always return heaped upon!
